<p>End Of Stream</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: circle; "><li class="listitem"><p>At end-of-stream, the subclass <em class="parameter"><code>parse</code></em>
 function may be called some final
times with the at_eos parameter set to true, indicating that the element
should not expect any more data to be arriving, and it should parse and
remaining frames and call <a class="link" href="GstVideoDecoder.html#gst-video-decoder-have-frame" title="gst_video_decoder_have_frame ()"><code class="function">gst_video_decoder_have_frame()</code></a> if possible.</p></li></ul></div>
</li>
</ul></div>
<p>The subclass is responsible for providing pad template caps for
source and sink pads. The pads need to be named "sink" and "src". It also
needs to provide information about the ouptput caps, when they are known.
This may be when the base class calls the subclass' <em class="parameter"><code>set_format</code></em>
 function,
though it might be during decoding, before calling
<em class="parameter"><code>gst_video_decoder_finish_frame</code></em>
. This is done via
<em class="parameter"><code>gst_video_decoder_set_output_state</code></em>
</p>
<p>The subclass is also responsible for providing (presentation) timestamps
(likely based on corresponding input ones).  If that is not applicable
or possible, the base class provides limited framerate based interpolation.</p>
<p>Similarly, the base class provides some limited (legacy) seeking support
if specifically requested by the subclass, as full-fledged support
should rather be left to upstream demuxer, parser or alike.  This simple
approach caters for seeking and duration reporting using estimated input
bitrates. To enable it, a subclass should call
<em class="parameter"><code>gst_video_decoder_set_estimate_rate</code></em>
 to enable handling of incoming
byte-streams.</p>
<p>The base class provides some support for reverse playback, in particular
in case incoming data is not packetized or upstream does not provide
fragments on keyframe boundaries.  However, the subclass should then be
prepared for the parsing and frame processing stage to occur separately
(in normal forward processing, the latter immediately follows the former),
The subclass also needs to ensure the parsing stage properly marks
keyframes, unless it knows the upstream elements will do so properly for
incoming data.</p>
<p>The bare minimum that a functional subclass needs to implement is:</p>

<pre class="programlisting">#define             GST_VIDEO_DECODER_ERROR(el, w, domain, code, text, debug, ret)</pre>
<p>Utility function that video decoder elements can use in case they encountered
a data processing error that may be fatal for the current "data unit" but
need not prevent subsequent decoding.  Such errors are counted and if there
are too many, as configured in the context's max_errors, the pipeline will
post an error message and the application will be requested to stop further
media processing.  Otherwise, it is considered a "glitch" and only a warning
is logged. In either case, <em class="parameter"><code>ret</code></em>
 is set to the proper value to
return to upstream/caller (indicating either GST_FLOW_ERROR or GST_FLOW_OK).</p>
